Bath repair at your home in Kingsdon

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Kingsdon

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

FAQs for Kingsdon

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work in Kingsdon?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Kingsdon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Kingsdon?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace in Kingsdon?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. 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.
