Bath repair in Kelvinbridge without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kelvinbridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Kelvinbridge
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kelvinbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Kelvinbridge: your questions answered
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your G20 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What we’re called out for in Kelvinbridge
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
