Bath repair in Kilsby without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kilsby and across Warwickshire.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Kilsby questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you come to Kilsby?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kilsby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Warwickshire.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kilsby, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairs by material
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 the part we put right.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kilsby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
