For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bath repair at your home in Sevenscore
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we are called out for in Sevenscore
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
Repairing versus replacing in Sevenscore
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Sevenscore: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Sevenscore
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sevenscore. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sevenscore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
