Repair or replace in Bonnington?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bonnington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bath repair at your home in Bonnington
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we are called out for in Bonnington
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bonnington questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Bonnington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Bonnington
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, 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 we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
