Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Bath repair in Kilmarnock, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kilmarnock and across East Ayrshire.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kilmarnock. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilmarnock
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Kilmarnock
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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 is what we repair.
Common questions in Kilmarnock
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KA1 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover Kilmarnock?
We do. We send a technician to Kilmarnock for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
