Bath Repair for Boxley homes
Bath repair for Boxley, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Bath repair at your home in Boxley
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Boxley
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Your questions about bath repair in Boxley
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Boxley
For anyone letting property in or around Boxley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
