Bath Repair in Way
Damaged bath in Way? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Bath repair in Way, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Way get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

FAQs for Way
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How much does bath repair cost in Way?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
