What affects the price in Keltybridge
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath repair at your home in Keltybridge
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Keltybridge
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need bath repair in Keltybridge
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Your questions about bath repair in Keltybridge
Do you come to Keltybridge?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Keltybridge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
