DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath repair in Wormshill without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and a chipped rim or side, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Wormshill

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including Wormshill and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wormshill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
