What else we do in Kent Street
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. 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.
When to call us in Kent Street
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Kent Street
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover Kent Street?
We do. Technicians travel to Kent Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Kent Street

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
