FAQs for Kirk Yetholm
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you come to Kirk Yetholm?
We do. We send a technician to Kirk Yetholm for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Kirk Yetholm and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How we handle bath repair in Kirk Yetholm
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kirk Yetholm and across the Scottish Borders.

What else we do in Kirk Yetholm
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
