Bath repair across TN35: what to expect
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How the damage happens
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in TN35
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.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in TN35
Do you work in TN35?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to TN35 and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
