Bath repair at your home in Ballantrae
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Ballantrae questions
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ballantrae
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What else we do in Ballantrae
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ballantrae use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What we are called out for in Ballantrae
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
