Bath repair at your home in Watermill
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Watermill
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Watermill. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Most clients in Watermill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Watermill
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
