Bath repair at your home in Kimblesworth
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing in Kimblesworth
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

When to call us in Kimblesworth

- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in Kimblesworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Kimblesworth
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover Kimblesworth?
We do. Technicians travel to Kimblesworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
