Bath repair at your home in Strood
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Signs you need bath repair in Strood
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Landlord and trade work in Strood
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice

What else we do in Strood
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Strood: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Strood?
We do. We send a technician to Strood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
What affects the price in Strood
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
