Bath repair in Chislet without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chislet and across Kent.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Other services in Chislet
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.

Common questions in Chislet
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How much does bath repair cost in Chislet?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic

Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
