Common problems we fix in Kirkmichael
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkmichael
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Kirkmichael, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Kirkmichael: your questions answered
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Kirkmichael?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work in Kirkmichael?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kirkmichael for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
