Our bath repair service in BN50

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

What we’re called out for in BN50

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Brighton and Hove and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish

Common questions in BN50

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover BN50?

We do. Technicians travel to BN50 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
