Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Ayrshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace in Benslie?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Benslie
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Benslie questions
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Benslie?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KA13 postcode.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
