Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Bath repair at your home in Kempe's Corner
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Landlord and trade work in Kempe's Corner
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What affects the price in Kempe's Corner
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Kempe's Corner
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
