Questions from Ashkirk
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How we handle bath repair in Ashkirk
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ashkirk and across the Scottish Borders.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

What else we do in Ashkirk
When to call us in Ashkirk
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for 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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
