Bath chip & crack repair in Ferryhill, Aberdeen
Our technicians come to Ferryhill for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why Ferryhill clients choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath repair in Ferryhill without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Ferryhill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

- Cast iron enamel
Questions from Ferryhill
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Ferryhill and the rest of Aberdeen. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What your bath is made of matters
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 is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair in Ferryhill
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in Ferryhill contact us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
Other services in Ferryhill
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
