DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle bath repair in Bockhanger
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Bockhanger: your questions answered
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 it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Bockhanger included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need bath repair in Bockhanger?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Bockhanger, 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.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. 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.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
