Broad Oak: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath repair in Broad Oak?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Are there extra charges for Broad Oak?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What we’re called out for in Broad Oak
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered

Repair or replace in Broad Oak?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Broad Oak. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Broad Oak
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broad Oak as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Broad Oak
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
