Bath repair for Ryarsh homes

Bath repair in Ryarsh without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Landlord and trade work in Ryarsh

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ryarsh use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Ryarsh?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips under the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Ryarsh: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
