What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath repair in Tilmanstone, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

When to call us in Tilmanstone
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Tilmanstone: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Tilmanstone included. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Tilmanstone?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tilmanstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
