Bath repair for Teston homes

Bath repair in Teston without replacing anything

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Teston

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need bath repair in Teston?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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 professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense 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. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What affects the price in Teston

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Teston

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath repair in Teston

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you come to Teston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Teston. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
