Repairing versus replacing in Gravesend
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Gravesend
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you come to Gravesend?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gravesend and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we are called out for in Gravesend
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
