Repairing versus replacing in Selmeston
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Selmeston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BN26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Selmeston
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Selmeston.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Local landmarks in Selmeston

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Landlord and trade work in Selmeston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
