Your questions about bath repair in Priestwood Green
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Priestwood Green included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Bath repair in Priestwood Green, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Priestwood Green
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For a price in Priestwood Green, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

Landlord and trade work in Priestwood Green
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Priestwood Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
