Repair or replace in Wincheap?

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wincheap as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Wincheap questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you come to Wincheap?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wincheap and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wincheap.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
If you are in Wincheap and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
