Bath repair in Kilmun without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kilmun. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted 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 before booking.
Materials we work on in Kilmun
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Repairing versus replacing in Kilmun
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
