About our bath repair in Old Romney
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For a price in Old Romney, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Old Romney questions
How much does bath repair cost in Old Romney?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Repairs by material
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.
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’s what we repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Romney. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN29 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Old Romney
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
