Bath repair in Walstead, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Walstead, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Walstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Walstead
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover Walstead?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Walstead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walstead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Walstead
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
