Bath repair in Upper Horsebridge without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
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 get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Upper Horsebridge: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Horsebridge
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Horsebridge as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Upper Horsebridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
