What we’re called out for in South Street
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
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.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Questions from South Street
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How much does bath repair cost in South Street?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ME13 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 often lifts.
