Bath repair in Eastwood without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Eastwood
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Eastwood. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Eastwood
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
FAQs for Eastwood
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover Eastwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Eastwood and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
