About our bath repair in Kingsmead
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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Kingsmead
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kingsmead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Kingsmead
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Kingsmead contact us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Kingsmead
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingsmead
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
