Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Kilton: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Kilton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When to call us in Kilton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Kilton
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: 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. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kilton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the whole UK

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
