About our bath repair in Sevington
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Sevington
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
When to call us in Sevington
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sevington. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Sevington
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
