Bath repair in Hacklinge without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hacklinge and across Kent.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Hacklinge get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Hacklinge
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Hacklinge included. Travel is included in the price.
When to call us in Hacklinge
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
