Bath Repair in Kent

Our bath repair service in Kent

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

What you’ll pay

Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Kent, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Common questions in Kent

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
