Bath chip & crack repair in Elie, Fife
We travel to Elie for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What we are called out for in Elie
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
How we handle bath repair in Elie
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elie
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elie use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
FAQs for Elie
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Elie?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your KY9 postcode.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Elie.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elie. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elie. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
