About bath repair in CT12

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What it costs in CT12

How the damage happens

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Landlord and trade work in CT12

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in CT12, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Questions from CT12

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to CT12. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
