How we handle bath repair in Kilmore
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What affects the price in Kilmore
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kilmore. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Kilmore: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are there extra charges for Kilmore?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Advice
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 isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
