Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.

Questions from Balgowan
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work in Balgowan?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Balgowan. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Balgowan.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Balgowan. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Balgowan and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What we’re called out for in Balgowan
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Balgowan contact us include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
