Bath repair in Forstal, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Forstal and across Kent.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Do you need bath repair in Forstal?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole

Your questions about bath repair in Forstal
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairing versus replacing in Forstal
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Forstal customers choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
