Bath repair at your home in Kilbirnie
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kilbirnie: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of North Ayrshire?
All of North Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
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.
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.
Common problems we fix in Kilbirnie
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
