Bath chip & crack repair in Wilmington, East Sussex

- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
About our bath repair in Wilmington
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wilmington and across East Sussex.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Wilmington
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath repair in Wilmington
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Your questions about bath repair in Wilmington
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you work in Wilmington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wilmington. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
