Landlord and trade work in Rye Foreign
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Rye Foreign
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Common problems we fix in Rye Foreign
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rye Foreign. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rye Foreign, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. 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 will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
