Bath repair across ME17: what to expect
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Local landmarks in Coxheath
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Cornwallis Academy, The Horse Shoes Public House and Coxheath Primary School and the streets around them. Nearby too are Quarry Wood (1.4 miles west) and Holy Trinity Church (less than half a mile south). The closest station to Coxheath is East Farleigh station, about 1.5 miles north. Well-known places in the area include The Mall Maidstone (3 miles north-east) and Oakwood Hospital (2.4 miles north).
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
How the damage happens
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in ME17 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in ME17
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
