How bath repair works in TN8
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
What it costs in TN8

Near you in Edenbridge
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The White Horse Inn, Church of St Peter and St Paul and Edenbridge Primary School, among other places.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Common problems we fix in TN8
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Questions from TN8
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
