About our bath repair in South Kilworth
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in South Kilworth as everywhere else we work.

South Kilworth: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What we’re called out for in South Kilworth
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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 it pays to deal with it early.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: 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. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in South Kilworth get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
