FAQs for Innerleithen
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Are there extra charges for Innerleithen?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to Innerleithen?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Innerleithen. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
About our bath repair in Innerleithen

If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Innerleithen
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Innerleithen?

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
When to call us in Innerleithen
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
