Need bath repair in Steven's Crouch?

Bath repair at your home in Steven's Crouch

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Steven's Crouch and across East Sussex.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Steven's Crouch

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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 get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Steven's Crouch, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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 repair chips early.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Steven's Crouch

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Colour-matched on site

FAQs for Steven's Crouch

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you come to Steven's Crouch?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Steven's Crouch and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Sussex.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
