Bath repair at your home in Staplehurst
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Staplehurst
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Staplehurst. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Your questions about bath repair in Staplehurst
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Staplehurst included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
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 will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need bath repair in Staplehurst
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
