Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need bath repair in Horsmonden
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Horsmonden. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
