Earlsferry questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Earlsferry and the rest of Fife. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
About our bath repair in Earlsferry
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Earlsferry as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What else we do in Earlsferry
What affects the price in Earlsferry
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Earlsferry

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we’re called out for in Earlsferry
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
