Bath chip & crack repair in Caring, Kent
Our technicians come to Caring for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair in Caring without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

FAQs for Caring
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caring as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Caring, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
