Keswick questions

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Bath repair at your home in Keswick

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Keswick and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

What we are called out for in Keswick

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t 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
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Keswick

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Keswick

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Keswick. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
