What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Bath repair in Kingsteps without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Do you need bath repair in Kingsteps?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Kingsteps contact us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side

Repair or replace in Kingsteps?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about bath repair in Kingsteps
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Also in Kingsteps
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
