Bath repair at your home in Kirkburn
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Kirkburn
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What affects the price in Kirkburn
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kirkburn. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
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 price the job the same day in most cases.
Kirkburn: your questions answered
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before you book
