Bath repair at your home in Thurnham
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Thurnham
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Common questions in Thurnham
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
