About bath repair in KY4
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’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
What it costs in KY4
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in KY4
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
What affects the price in KY4
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
Repair or replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Questions from KY4
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
