Bath repair in Auchtertyre without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Auchtertyre
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Auchtertyre. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Auchtertyre customers choose us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish

What we’re called out for in Auchtertyre
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Auchtertyre, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Auchtertyre
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
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.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Auchtertyre included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
