Bath repair in Wootton without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wootton and across Kent.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Your questions about bath repair in Wootton

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Do you need bath repair in Wootton?

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Common reasons people in Wootton contact us include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items

Repairing versus replacing in Wootton

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wootton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
