Landlord and trade work in Sole Street
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Bath repair in Sole Street, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sole Street and across Kent.

Sole Street questions
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Sole Street
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need bath repair in Sole Street
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sole Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
