Bath repair in Great Kingshill, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Great Kingshill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Great Kingshill

Will the repair last?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Kingshill

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

Landlord and trade work in Great Kingshill

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Kingshill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

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.
