Bath repair in Backmuir of Pitfirrane without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Backmuir of Pitfirrane. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Backmuir of Pitfirrane
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price

More services for Backmuir of Pitfirrane
Landlord and trade work in Backmuir of Pitfirrane
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. 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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
