Our bath repair service in ME16
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items.
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business

Around Allington
Our clients here include homes close to The Maplesden Noakes School, St. Nicholas' Church and St. Simon Stock Catholic School, among other places. You’ll also find Allington Primary School (less than half a mile north-west), Malta Inn (0.8 miles north-east) and Whatman Park (0.8 miles south-east). The closest station to Allington is Barming station, about 0.8 miles west. Further afield, we also cover the area around Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment Museum (1.3 miles south-east) and Fremlin Walk (1.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Burham Down and Boxley Hills.
How the damage happens
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Common reasons people in ME16 contact us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Landlords, agents and businesses in ME16
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What affects the price in ME16
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
