- Repairs from £95

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
How we handle bath repair in Kersbrook
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kersbrook. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kersbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Kersbrook

Your questions about bath repair in Kersbrook
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Kersbrook
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we’re called out for in Kersbrook
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
