Bath repair in Hunters Forstal, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Hunters Forstal questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Hunters Forstal?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hunters Forstal and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Everywhere in the UK, Hunters Forstal included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hunters Forstal
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What else we do in Hunters Forstal
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Do you need bath repair in Hunters Forstal?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
For a price in Hunters Forstal, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
