DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath repair in Aberdour
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repair or replace in Aberdour?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What else we do in Aberdour
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

Common problems we fix in Aberdour

- Rust by the waste and overflow

- Cracks in an acrylic bath
