What we’re called out for in Auldgirth
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Auldgirth get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Auldgirth questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

About bath chip & crack repair
Repair or replace in Auldgirth?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
