Bath repair in Ayr without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
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.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why Ayr clients choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Common problems we fix in Ayr
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps

Your questions about bath repair in Ayr
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Ayr?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Ayr?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ayr from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ayr. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
