About our bath repair in Capel
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Capel
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Capel and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Capel?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
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.
What we’re called out for in Capel
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Capel. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
