What else we do in Sissinghurst
Do you need bath repair in Sissinghurst?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 is what we repair.
Sissinghurst questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Sissinghurst is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
