About our bath repair in Lime Kiln
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Lime Kiln
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
Most clients in Lime Kiln get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lime Kiln, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic

Do you need bath repair in Lime Kiln?
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common questions in Lime Kiln
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
