Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

What we are called out for in Paglesham

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace in Paglesham?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
