Repair or replace in Craigcrook?

Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Craigcrook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath repair in Craigcrook?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Craigcrook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
