How we handle bath repair in Balornock
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Balornock. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Common questions in Balornock
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
