About our bath repair in Hawkenbury
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Your questions about bath repair in Hawkenbury
Do you work in Hawkenbury?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hawkenbury and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Common problems we fix in Hawkenbury
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hawkenbury. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
