The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Bath repair at your home in Upper Killay
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: 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. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Upper Killay and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Killay. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Upper Killay?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Upper Killay
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Upper Killay?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
