Bath repair in Crombie without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Questions from Crombie
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the entire of Fife?
Everywhere in the UK, Crombie included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Crombie get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What else we do in Crombie
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crombie
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Crombie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
