How we handle bath repair in Saltdean
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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.
What affects the price in Saltdean
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Saltdean
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How much does bath repair cost in Saltdean?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BN2 postcode.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
