How we handle bath repair in Keelham

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath repair in Keelham

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Keelham

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Your questions about bath repair in Keelham

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Keelham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Keelham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Keelham

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
