- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Bath repair in Kelston, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Kelston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kelston. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kelston questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
