About our bath repair in Upton
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Upton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Upton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Your questions about bath repair in Upton
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
