Bath repair in Rye Harbour without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Rye Harbour. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Rye Harbour questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rye Harbour use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
