Your questions about bath repair in Kirby Cane
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How we handle bath repair in Kirby Cane
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Kirby Cane
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirby Cane
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirby Cane as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
