Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Bath repair in Kirby Bellars without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Your questions about bath repair in Kirby Bellars
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirby Bellars use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When to call us in Kirby Bellars
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
