Bath repair for Kellington homes

Bath repair at your home in Kellington

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and chips under the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

When to call us in Kellington

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Kellington: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What about rust by the waste?

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.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kellington, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
