Bath repair at your home in Kirkgunzeon
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
When to call us in Kirkgunzeon
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
