Bath chip & crack repair in Paddock Wood, Kent
Bath repair across Paddock Wood and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
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.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair in Paddock Wood, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Paddock Wood: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Paddock Wood
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
