What we are called out for in Cooling Street
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items

How we handle bath repair in Cooling Street
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cooling Street
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for 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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Cooling Street questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the entire of Medway?
The whole UK, including all of Medway. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Cooling Street?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
