Bath chip & crack repair in Cold Harbour, Kent
Bath repair for Cold Harbour, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair at your home in Cold Harbour
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What affects the price in Cold Harbour
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Your questions about bath repair in Cold Harbour
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Cold Harbour?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When to call us in Cold Harbour
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
