How we handle bath repair in Kirkmuirhill
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Kirkmuirhill
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Signs you need bath repair in Kirkmuirhill
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking

- How long it needs to cure
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Kirkmuirhill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
