Questions from Keckwick
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Keckwick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Keckwick. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Bath repair in Keckwick, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What else we do in Keckwick
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Keckwick
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
