Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

About our bath repair in Hoo Green

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Hoo Green: your questions answered

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Hoo Green

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

When to call us in Hoo Green

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Hoo Green

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hoo Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
