Bath repair across KW15: what to expect
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and holes from dropped items, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the damage happens
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Your questions about bath repair in KW15
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you come to KW15?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to KW15 and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
