About our bath repair in Chiddingstone Hoath

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and damage beneath the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Chiddingstone Hoath

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Chiddingstone Hoath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chiddingstone Hoath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Chiddingstone Hoath

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

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.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
