Bath chip & crack repair in Kingsdown, Kent
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Kingsdown, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. 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.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

About our bath repair in Kingsdown
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Kingsdown: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Kingsdown?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What else we do in Kingsdown
Landlord and trade work in Kingsdown
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingsdown as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
