Bath Repair for Cruden Bay homes
Our technicians come to Cruden Bay for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: 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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Bath repair at your home in Cruden Bay
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Cruden Bay
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cruden Bay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath repair in Cruden Bay
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Cruden Bay: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
