DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
FAQs for Rustington
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rustington. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from pictures so you do not 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.
