Bath repair in Dairsie, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Do you need bath repair in Dairsie?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- 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.

Advice
Dairsie questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Dairsie, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.
