Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on

Your questions about bath repair in Wouldham
How much does bath repair cost in Wouldham?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ME1 postcode.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Signs you need bath repair in Wouldham
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What affects the price in Wouldham
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
