How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Alloway. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Alloway
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover the entire of South Ayrshire?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
When to call us in Alloway
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
