Bath repair in and around Buccleuch: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Bath repair at your home in Buccleuch
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What else we do in Buccleuch
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. 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 needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Buccleuch
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Buccleuch
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Buccleuch. The price depends on:

- How many areas need work
- Access to the area

Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Buccleuch get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
