When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Kelty
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Kelty
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Kelty is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Do you need bath repair in Kelty?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
