Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Blatchington. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from West Blatchington
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Blatchington
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Brighton and Hove and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace in West Blatchington?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
