Questions from Ide Hill
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
About our bath repair in Ide Hill
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Ide Hill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ide Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ide Hill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
