Bath repair in Graveney

Bath repair in Graveney without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. We are frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Graveney

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Graveney, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Graveney. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need bath repair in Graveney

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Graveney

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Graveney?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Graveney and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
