How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S75 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Bath repair in Kexbrough, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Kexbrough
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Kexbrough?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Kexbrough
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
