Bath repair in Sidley without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sidley and across East Sussex.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
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 what we repair.

Common questions in Sidley
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When to call us in Sidley
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
