Bath repair at your home in Kenton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides.

Kenton questions
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Kenton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NE3 postcode.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Signs you need bath repair in Kenton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kenton. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
