Bath repair at your home in Kelton Hill
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kelton Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we’re called out for in Kelton Hill

- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Your questions about bath repair in Kelton Hill
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
For a price in Kelton Hill, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
