How we handle bath repair in Plaxtol
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Plaxtol and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Plaxtol
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Plaxtol and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Plaxtol. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Plaxtol?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
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 nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
