About our bath repair in Biddenden 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, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Biddenden Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Biddenden Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Biddenden Green: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we are called out for in Biddenden Green

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
