About our bath repair in Kettlesing Bottom

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Kettlesing Bottom questions

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

When to call us in Kettlesing Bottom

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kettlesing Bottom. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Kettlesing Bottom and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
