The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LU6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Kensworth
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. 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.
Why book with us

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Kensworth
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Kensworth questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
