Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair at your home in Eastling
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Eastling
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Eastling. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about bath repair in Eastling
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Eastling is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we’re called out for in Eastling
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, generally the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
