Bath chip & crack repair in Pitlessie, Fife
Problem with your bath in Pitlessie? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle bath repair in Pitlessie
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace in Pitlessie?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pitlessie. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Pitlessie: your questions answered
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
