What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Borestone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Borestone
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Borestone customers choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Borestone

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

More services for Borestone
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take 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 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
FAQs for Borestone
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Stirling?
Across the UK, so Borestone is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
