When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath repair in Hollingbourne?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Hollingbourne
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Hollingbourne and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common questions in Hollingbourne
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
