About bath repair in KA18

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Ayrshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for KA18. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 generally cheaper.
