Lochore: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Landlord and trade work in Lochore
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
If you are in Lochore and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KY5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Lochore
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
