- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic

Bath repair in Cairnie, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Cairnie?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site

What we are called out for in Cairnie
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.

Cairnie questions
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cairnie. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cairnie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
