Bath repair at your home in Carronbridge
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Common questions in Carronbridge
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Carronbridge

What we’re called out for in Carronbridge
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
