How we handle bath repair in Crockenhill
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Questions from Crockenhill
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
We cover the whole UK, including Crockenhill and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Different materials, different repairs
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Crockenhill?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Do you need bath repair in Crockenhill?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
