How we handle bath repair in Walmer Bridge
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
FAQs for Walmer Bridge
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Walmer Bridge?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically 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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What we are called out for in Walmer Bridge
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
