Bath repair in Cumnock, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
There is 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.
When to call us in Cumnock
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Cumnock
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I fix it myself?
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 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
