Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Blairhall
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blairhall as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Blairhall: your questions answered
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
