Bath repair for Kennoway homes

Bath repair in Kennoway, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. 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. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kennoway

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Kennoway: your questions answered

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Fife.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kennoway. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
