Bath repair in Kiltarlity, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What else we do in Kiltarlity
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What we’re called out for in Kiltarlity
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Kiltarlity
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
