Bath Repair in New Hythe
We travel to New Hythe for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Hythe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Bath repair in New Hythe, done in place
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and cracks in an acrylic bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for New Hythe. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in New Hythe, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
