Bath repair in Keysoe, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Keysoe?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Keysoe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
