Bath repair in Kirklington, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Kirklington
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides

We cover the entire UK, including Kirklington and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
