Bath repair in Kelbrook, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When to call us in Kelbrook
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole

FAQs for Kelbrook
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
