Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath repair in Kelling without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.

Kelling questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Kelling is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelling use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How we price bath repair

- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Signs you need bath repair in Kelling
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
