Bath chip & crack repair in Goathurst Common, Kent
Our technicians come to Goathurst Common for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How we handle bath repair in Goathurst Common
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and damage beneath the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Goathurst Common and across Kent.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we are called out for in Goathurst Common
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.

- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Repairing versus replacing in Goathurst Common
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
