Bath chip & crack repair in Kearsney, Kent
We travel to Kearsney for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair in Kearsney, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kearsney as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Signs you need bath repair in Kearsney
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
