Bath repair in Waldershare, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Waldershare

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Waldershare?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waldershare and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Waldershare and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Repair or replace in Waldershare?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Waldershare

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and 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 what we repair.
