How we handle bath repair in Kington
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath repair in Kington
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Kington get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we are called out for in Kington
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 typically cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the entire UK
