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:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Kilvington
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Kilvington included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kilvington. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kilvington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
