Bath repair for Lamberhurst homes

Bath repair in Lamberhurst, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and chips caused by builders.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Lamberhurst questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Lamberhurst and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Lamberhurst?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Repair or replace in Lamberhurst?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Lamberhurst?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
