Trusted bath repair in Chevening

Bath repair in Chevening without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Signs you need bath repair in Chevening

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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps

Chevening questions

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chevening. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chevening

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
