How we handle bath repair in Kettlesing
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 whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Signs you need bath repair in Kettlesing
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Kettlesing
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
