10 questions to ask before you book

Bath repair in Ebbsfleet without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Your questions about bath repair in Ebbsfleet

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to Ebbsfleet?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ebbsfleet. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ebbsfleet. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Ebbsfleet

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ebbsfleet. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
