Bath repair in Keiss, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Your questions about bath repair in Keiss
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Most customers in Keiss get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
What affects the price in Keiss
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Keiss?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Keiss. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
