Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath repair at your home in Kenley
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 sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kenley. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Kenley
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
FAQs for Kenley
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
