How we handle bath repair in Crosshill
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
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, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Crosshill
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Questions from Crosshill
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
Do you work in Crosshill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Crosshill and the rest of Fife. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
