Bath repair in Great Kimble, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and chips under the taps, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When to call us in Great Kimble
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Great Kimble. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Great Kimble
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Great Kimble?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Great Kimble and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
