When to call us in Satmar
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Satmar and nearby
Satmar is about 3 miles north-east of Folkestone, in Kent. Across the CT18 area, we come to you. Satmar is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we work. Our jobs stretch from Satmar to London (about 63 miles away).
Our visits in CT18 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Nearby, we also work in Capel-le-Ferne (1 mile south-west), West Hougham (1 mile north-east), Drellingore (1 mile north-west), Church Hougham (1 mile east) and South Alkham (2 miles north).

Around Satmar
Typical jobs here are in homes near East Cliff and Warren Country Park, St Mary's Church and Capel-le-Ferne Primary School.

Not far away are Dover Western Heights and Sugar Loaf Hill.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Satmar get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Satmar
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Satmar?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Satmar. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice

What else we do in Satmar
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
