About our bath repair in Keddington

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Keddington

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Keddington, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Keddington

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Keddington questions

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
