Bath repair at your home in Monkton
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and rusty patches near the plughole.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Ayrshire.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we do, step by step
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 we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Monkton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
