Bath repair in Kirkpatrick-Fleming without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kirkpatrick-Fleming. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kirkpatrick-Fleming. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Common questions in Kirkpatrick-Fleming

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover Kirkpatrick-Fleming?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kirkpatrick-Fleming. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What we’re called out for in Kirkpatrick-Fleming

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 lets water in, and rust follows.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
