Do you need bath repair in Balmullo?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Our work in Balmullo
Balmullo is about 7 miles south of Dundee, in Fife. We travel to clients in Balmullo and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Balmullo is one of 133 places in Fife we cover. You can also see our page for Edinburgh, about 32 miles away.
All of KY16 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets such as Main Street, Dunedin Park and Park View, and we cover them all. Other places close to Balmullo include Lucklawhill (1 mile north), Guardbridge (2 miles south-east), Leuchars (2 miles east), Dairsie (2 miles south) and Pickletillum (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Leven (13 miles south), St Andrews (6 miles south-east), Cupar (5 miles south-west), Methil (14 miles south), Newport-on-Tay (4 miles north) and Anstruther (14 miles south-east).
Landmarks near Balmullo
For rail, the closest station is Leuchars station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find St Andrews Community Hospital (5.9 miles south-east) and Pitcullo Castle (1.3 miles south-west).
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Fixed prices from your pictures

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Balmullo. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Balmullo: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Balmullo?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Balmullo and the rest of Fife. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
