Bath repair across KA20: what to expect
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Landmarks near Stevenston

Also close by are Stevenston Beach (0.9 miles south-west) and Champion Shell Inn (under half a mile west). The nearest railway station is Stevenston station, roughly 0.5 miles south. Nearby you’ll also find Woodland View (2.9 miles east) and Kilwinning Rangers history museum (1.2 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Stevenston Loch.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Common problems we fix in KA20
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Common questions in KA20
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
