What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Bath repair in Etchinghill, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Etchinghill questions
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before you book

Do you need bath repair in Etchinghill?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What affects the price in Etchinghill
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Etchinghill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
