Trusted bath repair in Kittle

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath repair at your home in Kittle

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. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Kittle

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Kittle

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kittle use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Kittle, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Do not 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 we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Kittle

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Kittle included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
