Bath repair at your home in Kyleakin
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Kyleakin?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kyleakin. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kyleakin questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
