About our bath repair in Kilburn
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 following day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Kilburn
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Kilburn included. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Kilburn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilburn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
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.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
