Landlord and trade work in Kilby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath repair in Kilby without replacing anything
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. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need bath repair in Kilby
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kilby. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Kilby, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
