Repair or replace in Ticehurst?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Ticehurst
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ticehurst. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common questions in Ticehurst
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Ticehurst?
We do. We send a technician to Ticehurst for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ticehurst
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Ticehurst, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
