Bath repair at your home in Airlie
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Airlie
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlord and trade work in Airlie
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Airlie: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
