Bath repair in Kirbister without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Kirbister questions
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Kirbister?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Landlord and trade work in Kirbister
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Kirbister?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Kirbister
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
