Bath repair in Bearsted, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Bearsted
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bearsted
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Bearsted: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
