Bath Repair in Kentmere
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Kentmere, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Bath repair in Kentmere, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We are often asked to fix holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need bath repair in Kentmere?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kentmere
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

FAQs for Kentmere
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Kentmere
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kentmere. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
