Bath Repair in Craigrothie
Damaged bath in Craigrothie? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairing versus replacing in Craigrothie
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Craigrothie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common problems we fix in Craigrothie
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common questions in Craigrothie
Do you come to Craigrothie?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Craigrothie and the rest of Fife. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Craigrothie?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
