Bath repair at your home in Rodmell
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rodmell
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Rodmell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What affects the price in Rodmell

- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is

Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

Rodmell: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover Rodmell?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Rodmell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
