How we handle bath repair in Skeete
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Skeete
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work in Skeete?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Skeete and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Other services in Skeete
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
