How we handle bath repair in Chilham
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilham
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Most customers in Chilham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How much does bath repair cost in Chilham?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
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.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
