Bath repair in Kirkinner without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and chips caused by builders, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

The full price is agreed before you book.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Kirkinner
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Kirkinner, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Do you need bath repair in Kirkinner?
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
