What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Cornhill
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Your questions about bath repair in Cornhill
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Cornhill and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
