How we handle bath repair in Old Deer
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Deer
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, 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 start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
