How we handle bath repair in Kilburn
You can usually use the bath the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Kilburn
Can landlords and businesses in Kilburn book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Kilburn?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Do you cover Kilburn?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kilburn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Signs you need bath repair in Kilburn
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

Repairing versus replacing in Kilburn

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
