Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

When to call us in Broad Tenterden

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Broad Tenterden questions

Are there extra charges for Broad Tenterden?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Broad Tenterden?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Broad Tenterden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Broad Tenterden

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Broad Tenterden, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

If you’re in Broad Tenterden and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
