What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repair or replace in Kilham?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath repair in Kilham?
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
