Bath repair at your home in Keyhead
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Keyhead
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Signs you need bath repair in Keyhead
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What else we do in Keyhead
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Keyhead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
