Bath chip & crack repair in Grandtully, Perth and Kinross
Fixed-price bath repair in Grandtully and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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.
Bath repair in Grandtully, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for 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 reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Grandtully
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grandtully use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
FAQs for Grandtully
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Grandtully?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
