What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How we handle bath repair in Kiddington
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kiddington as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath repair in Kiddington?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders

Repair or replace in Kiddington?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Common questions in Kiddington
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
