Bath chip & crack repair in Wilmington, Kent
We travel to Wilmington for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath repair in Wilmington without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Wilmington
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Wilmington
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What we are called out for in Wilmington
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Your questions about bath repair in Wilmington
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wilmington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
