Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Lenham Heath, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What we are called out for in Lenham Heath
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Questions from Lenham Heath
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you come to Lenham Heath?
We do. We send a technician to Lenham Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
