DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Bath repair in Kington, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We’re frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

FAQs for Kington

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
