About our bath repair in Herne
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Herne
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Herne?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Herne
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
