Signs you need bath repair in Kettle Corner
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
About our bath repair in Kettle Corner
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and holes from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace in Kettle Corner?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

What affects the price in Kettle Corner
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
