How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlord and trade work in A' Chrìon Làraich
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from A' Chrìon Làraich
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Stirling, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we’re called out for in A' Chrìon Làraich

- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides

- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repair or replace in A' Chrìon Làraich?

A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
