Bath repair at your home in Kirtling
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Kirtling
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, 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.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirtling
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
