When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Bath repair in Burlings, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What else we do in Burlings
Landlord and trade work in Burlings
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burlings as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Burlings?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Burlings contact us are:
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Burlings: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you come to Burlings?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Burlings. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Burlings
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
