Bath repair at your home in Burntisland
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and damage beneath the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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 what we repair.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath repair in Burntisland
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need bath repair in Burntisland?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

- What protection goes down before work starts
