How we handle bath repair in Kelvinbridge
You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kelvinbridge as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Kelvinbridge
What guarantee do I get?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does bath repair cost in Kelvinbridge?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G20 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and tidy up when we finish.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Kelvinbridge
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When to call us in Kelvinbridge
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches and burns
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
