What affects the price in Gravesend
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gravesend. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath repair in Gravesend, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. 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. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Gravesend
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Everything repaired in place

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
