Bath repair at your home in Kirkland
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Kirkland
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Other services in Kirkland
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. 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.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath repair in Kirkland
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
