What affects the price in Kelton
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Kelton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Kelton
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
Questions from Kelton
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, 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 photo.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
