Bath chip & crack repair in Ochiltree, East Ayrshire
Problem with your bath in Ochiltree? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath repair in Ochiltree
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Ochiltree
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How much does bath repair cost in Ochiltree?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ochiltree. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
