Bath repair in Wadhurst, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Wadhurst
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover Wadhurst?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wadhurst and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 often lifts.
What affects the price in Wadhurst
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Signs you need bath repair in Wadhurst
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
