How bath repair works in TN29
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Prices start from £95. 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.

Landmarks near Dymchurch
Typical jobs here are in homes near Dymchurch Primary School, Church of St Peter and St Paul and The Ship Inn and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Westenhanger station, about 4.6 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Lympne Castle (2.9 miles north).
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in TN29
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around TN29, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
TN29 questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
