Bath repair in Auchtertool, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. 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. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Auchtertool and across Fife.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
FAQs for Auchtertool
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What else we do in Auchtertool
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself 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.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You don’t 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
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 the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
