Trusted bath repair in Kenny Hill

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Kenny Hill and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How we handle bath repair in Kenny Hill

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Signs you need bath repair in Kenny Hill

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Kenny Hill

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

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’s what we repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
