About our bath repair in Aldington Frith

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aldington Frith and across Kent.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Your questions about bath repair in Aldington Frith

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Aldington Frith. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When to call us in Aldington Frith

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
