Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 normally the cheaper route.
Bath repair at your home in Frittenden
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Frittenden
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Frittenden
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairs by material
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, in much the same way.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Frittenden: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Frittenden
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.
