Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our bath repair in Keadby
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keadby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keadby questions
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DN17 postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When to call us in Keadby
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Keadby. The price reflects:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
