About our bath repair in Ketton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlord and trade work in Ketton
For anyone letting property in or around Ketton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
