Repair or replace in Kettlewell?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kettlewell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath repair in Kettlewell without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Kettlewell
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Are there extra charges for Kettlewell?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kettlewell, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kettlewell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
