About our bath repair in Rottingdean
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and damage beneath the taps, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rottingdean as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Rottingdean
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What else we do in Rottingdean
When to call us in Rottingdean
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
If you are in Rottingdean and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
