Bath repair in Aldrington, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Signs you need bath repair in Aldrington
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BN3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Aldrington?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
FAQs for Aldrington
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
