- Repairs from £95

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Cockburnspath
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Cockburnspath?
We do. We send a technician to Cockburnspath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cockburnspath
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
