Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle bath repair in Kennford
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Kennford
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Kennford?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kennford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Most clients in Kennford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
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.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
