About our bath repair in Rochester Riverside
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Rochester Riverside
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
