What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirkton of Auchterhouse. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
