Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Glencraig
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Glencraig included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Signs you need bath repair in Glencraig
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
