For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
About our bath repair in Chirnside
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chirnside and across the Scottish Borders.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

When to call us in Chirnside
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include

What affects the price in Chirnside
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Chirnside get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
