Landlords, agents and businesses in East Craigs
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Craigs as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath repair in East Craigs, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we are called out for in East Craigs
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 is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash

- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in East Craigs and want a price, 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.
FAQs for East Craigs
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
