Signs you need bath repair in Pembury

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit

Your questions about bath repair in Pembury

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Pembury?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TN2 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pembury. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
