Bath chip & crack repair in Printstile, Kent
Bath repair in and around Printstile: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we handle bath repair in Printstile
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Do you need bath repair in Printstile?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
