Bath Repair in Capstone
We travel to Capstone for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Bath repair in Capstone, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Capstone
For anyone letting property in or around Capstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Medway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about bath repair in Capstone
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the whole of Medway?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are there extra charges for Capstone?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Also in Capstone
Do you need bath repair in Capstone?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
