When to call us in Bekesbourne Hill

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Bath repair at your home in Bekesbourne Hill
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bekesbourne Hill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
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.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Bekesbourne Hill: your questions answered
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you cover Bekesbourne Hill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Bekesbourne Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
