Bath Repair in Anvil Green
Our technicians come to Anvil Green for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Bath repair in Anvil Green, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Anvil Green and across Kent.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Anvil Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Anvil Green
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Anvil Green?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
