What we are called out for in Kirkwhelpington
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
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.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Repair or replace in Kirkwhelpington?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kirkwhelpington: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
