About bath repair in CT17
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How the damage happens
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlord and trade work in CT17
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Common questions in CT17
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in CT17.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
