Bath repair in Kingarth, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PA20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Kingarth: your questions answered
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What bath repair costs

- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

What else we do in Kingarth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Do you need bath repair in Kingarth?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
