Bath repair in Capel-le-Ferne without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Capel-le-Ferne: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath repair in Capel-le-Ferne?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Signs you need bath repair in Capel-le-Ferne
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Capel-le-Ferne, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
