Bath repair at your home in CT19
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Landlord and trade work in CT19
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
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. A repair keeps it in place.
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Common problems we fix in CT19
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Common questions in CT19
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
