Bath repair across BN52: what to expect
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
What you will pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Near you in Hove
Typical jobs here are in homes near Hove Park School, Holy Trinity Church and The Drive Prep School, among other places. Also close by are The Urchin pub (within half a mile south-west), St Andrew's CofE (Aided) Primary School (less than half a mile west) and St. Ann's Well Gardens (0.7 miles east). There is a railway station in Hove itself: Hove station. Further afield, we also cover the area around British Engineerium (0.9 miles north) and Montefiore Hospital (0.7 miles east). Open spaces near Hove include Whitehawk Hill and Thundersbarrow Hill.
How the damage happens
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Landlords, agents and businesses in BN52
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to BN52. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Common questions in BN52
Are there extra charges for BN52?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover BN52?
We do. We send a technician to BN52 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
