Bath chip & crack repair in Cornhill, Aberdeen
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Cornhill. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we handle bath repair in Cornhill
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Cornhill?
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath

Cornhill: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AB16 postcode.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What we do, step by step
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 a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cornhill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cornhill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
