Bath repair in Cluny without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Cluny
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Common problems we fix in Cluny
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work across KY2. Close by, we cover Cardenden (1 mile west), Bowhill (1 mile west), Dundonald (2 miles south-west), Kinglassie (2 miles north) and Auchterderran (2 miles west).

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cluny. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
