Bath chip & crack repair in Greycrook, Scottish Borders

- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bath repair in Greycrook, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Greycrook. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Greycrook questions
Do you come to Greycrook?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Greycrook from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How much does bath repair cost in Greycrook?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What we are called out for in Greycrook
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Greycrook contact us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

- Ensure the room can be ventilated
