How we handle bath repair in Horsted Keynes
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Horsted Keynes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about bath repair in Horsted Keynes
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
