How we handle bath repair in Kilkerran
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 day after. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When to call us in Kilkerran
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PA28 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kilkerran. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Kilkerran
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
