About our bath repair in Sittingbourne
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Sittingbourne, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down 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 Sittingbourne
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Sittingbourne and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Common problems we fix in Sittingbourne
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
