About our bath repair in Cornhill on Tweed
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Cornhill on Tweed
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cornhill on Tweed. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site
- Most jobs done in one visit
