What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kington: your questions answered
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath repair cost in Kington?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Kington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need bath repair in Kington?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

- A chip where the taps sit

Repairing versus replacing in Kington
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
