Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

About our bath repair in Goudhurst
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Signs you need bath repair in Goudhurst
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Goudhurst
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Landlord and trade work in Goudhurst
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
