About our bath repair in Kells
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Kells
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CA28 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Signs you need bath repair in Kells
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Kells contact us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repair or replace in Kells?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
