Bath repair for Romney Street homes

Bath repair at your home in Romney Street

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 next day. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about bath repair in Romney Street

Do you come to Romney Street?

We do. We send a technician to Romney Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Romney Street

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
