Bath repair near Little Conghurst

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Little Conghurst and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath repair at your home in Little Conghurst

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Little Conghurst: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do you cover Little Conghurst?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Conghurst and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When to call us in Little Conghurst

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
