DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
About our bath repair in Anstruther
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Anstruther. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Anstruther
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Anstruther contact us are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anstruther use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Anstruther questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
