About our bath repair in Auchleven
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s 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 kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Auchleven
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Aberdeenshire.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace in Auchleven?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Usually one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Do you need bath repair in Auchleven?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
