Bath Repair for Upper Wellingham homes
Our technicians come to Upper Wellingham for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
About our bath repair in Upper Wellingham
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. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Upper Wellingham
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Signs you need bath repair in Upper Wellingham
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
