Crail: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Crail?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Crail and the rest of Fife. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Bath repair in Crail without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Crail
What we’re called out for in Crail
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Crail and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
