Repairing versus replacing in Kirkby
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle bath repair in Kirkby
You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Kirkby
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches and burns

Kirkby questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Do you come to Kirkby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kirkby and the rest of Knowsley. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and clean up when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
