How we handle bath repair in Kendleshire
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We are frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Kendleshire
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Kendleshire: 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 fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kendleshire, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
