Trusted bath repair in Comp

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

How we handle bath repair in Comp

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, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Comp

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

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Common questions in Comp

Are there extra charges for Comp?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you come to Comp?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Comp. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

When to call us in Comp

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
