Bath repair in Limerigg, done in place
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Limerigg. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Limerigg, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in Limerigg
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
Landlord and trade work in Limerigg
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you cover the whole of Falkirk?
We cover the whole UK, including Limerigg and the rest of Falkirk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
