FAQs for Peel
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TD1 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Bath repair in Peel, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and chips under the taps, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Do you need bath repair in Peel?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
