Bath repair across KY5: what to expect
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Cost
Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for KY5. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For anyone letting property in or around KY5, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in KY5
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Your questions about bath repair in KY5
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather 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 redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
