Bath repair at your home in Bessels Green
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 fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Questions from Bessels Green
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bessels Green?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in Bessels Green
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bessels Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
