A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price

Common problems we fix in Fettercairn
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Roll-top & freestanding

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fettercairn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Fettercairn
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Are there extra charges for Fettercairn?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
