The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our bath repair in Thanington
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. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Thanington
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Thanington
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath repair in Thanington?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Look out for these signs:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
