When to call us in Closeburn
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Closeburn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Closeburn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Closeburn
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
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 is the part we put right.
