Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Bath repair at your home in Chilmington Green

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Do you need bath repair in Chilmington Green?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Common questions in Chilmington Green

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How much does bath repair cost in Chilmington Green?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
