About our bath repair in Kimcote
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Kimcote
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kimcote as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kimcote. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Kimcote questions
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will I be able to see the 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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
