We travel to Candy Mill for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Bath repair at your home in Candy Mill
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Common questions in Candy Mill
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?
All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
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.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
Common problems we fix in Candy Mill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repairing versus replacing in Candy Mill
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
