What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Kelk use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Little Kelk questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you come to Little Kelk?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Little Kelk and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Little Kelk?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

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 disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

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.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
