Bath repair across CT21: what to expect
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What it costs in CT21
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in CT21
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in CT21, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for CT21. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in CT21, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the damage happens
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions from CT21
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
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.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
