Bath repair at your home in Kilnwood Vale
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Kilnwood Vale: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Kilnwood Vale?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kilnwood Vale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kilnwood Vale. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Kilnwood Vale and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When to call us in Kilnwood Vale
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
