Common problems we fix in Challock
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Bath repair in Challock without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Challock
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Challock use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Challock
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Challock?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Across the UK, so Challock is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the entire UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
