Bath chip & crack repair in Newington, Kent
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Newington, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Bath repair at your home in Newington
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Questions from Newington
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
We cover the whole UK, including Newington and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Newington
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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 typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
