Bath repair in Armadale without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Armadale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Armadale
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you cover Armadale?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Armadale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Armadale, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When to call us in Armadale
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
