Bath Repair in Darenth
Our repair technicians come to Darenth for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Bath repair in Darenth without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Darenth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
