Bath repair in Kexby

Bath repair at your home in Kexby

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and chips under the taps, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Kexby

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

Landlord and trade work in Kexby

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kexby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Common problems we fix in Kexby

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What affects the price in Kexby

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kexby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kexby, and we will reply with a fixed price.
