Bath repair in Herne Pound

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Herne Pound

  • Whirlpool & spa baths

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Bath repair at your home in Herne Pound

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Herne Pound questions

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Herne Pound?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover Herne Pound?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Herne Pound and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the repair show?

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repair or replace in Herne Pound?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
