Bath repair at your home in Forgandenny
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Forgandenny
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Forgandenny. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Forgandenny. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for 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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Forgandenny
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
All of Perth and Kinross, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You don’t 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
