How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Bath repair in Kirby Hill without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Kirby Hill
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kirby Hill. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath repair in Kirby Hill
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Repair or replace in Kirby Hill?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
