About our bath repair in Keeley Green

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Keeley Green and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

Signs you need bath repair in Keeley Green

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Common questions in Keeley Green

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Keeley Green. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
