What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Dunbridge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dunbridge, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Do you need bath repair in Dunbridge?

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Dunbridge

For anyone letting property in or around Dunbridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunbridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about bath repair in Dunbridge

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
