About our bath repair in Kelsall
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kelsall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
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.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about bath repair in Kelsall
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CW6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
