Bath repair in South Malling without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

South Malling: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Malling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in South Malling
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
