If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Across the UK, and that includes Kendal End. Our prices are the same everywhere.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kendal End. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

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.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we’re called out for in Kendal End

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Kendal End clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Kendal End

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kendal End use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
