Bath repair in Kingsmead, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What else we do in Kingsmead
Landlord and trade work in Kingsmead
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need bath repair in Kingsmead
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common questions in Kingsmead
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
