How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
About our bath repair in Craigo
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
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 normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Craigo
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
