About our bath repair in Cupar
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Cupar
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:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Cupar, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Your questions about bath repair in Cupar
Are there extra charges for Cupar?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Cupar?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cupar. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
