FAQs for Kingwood Common
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Kingwood Common?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Bath repair in Kingwood Common without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, 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.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we are called out for in Kingwood Common
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Kingwood Common contact us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
