Bath repair at your home in Craigmore
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Craigmore
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When to call us in Craigmore
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common questions in Craigmore
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover Craigmore?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Craigmore from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
