Bath chip & crack repair in Ditton, Kent
Our repair technicians come to Ditton for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath repair in Ditton without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Common problems we fix in Ditton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Ditton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ditton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Ditton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ME20 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
