Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Bath repair in Rushlake Green, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairing versus replacing in Rushlake Green

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Rushlake Green: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Rushlake Green?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Rushlake Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rushlake Green and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rushlake Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath repair in Rushlake Green?

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips on the rim or sides
