Should you replace it?

A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath repair in Kenton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Kenton
Landlord and trade work in Kenton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common problems we fix in Kenton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath repair in Kenton
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
