Bath chip & crack repair in Stelling Minnis, Kent
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Stelling Minnis, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
About our bath repair in Stelling Minnis
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. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath repair in Stelling Minnis
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Stelling Minnis?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stelling Minnis for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Stelling Minnis
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
