Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kirkby Thore. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlord and trade work in Kirkby Thore
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Kirkby Thore, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
