How we handle bath repair in Courtsend
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Courtsend
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Landlords, agents and businesses in Courtsend
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common questions in Courtsend
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Courtsend. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
