Bath chip & crack repair in Folkestone, Kent
We travel to Folkestone for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair at your home in Folkestone
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Folkestone and across Kent.

Do you need bath repair in Folkestone?
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairs by material
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. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Folkestone
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repair or replace in Folkestone?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Folkestone. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- Everything repaired in place

Questions from Folkestone
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
