Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we handle bath repair in Boughton Corner
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole, we can usually put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Boughton Corner and across Kent.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Boughton Corner, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
