How we handle bath repair in Portlethen Village
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Portlethen Village
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Portlethen Village questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Portlethen Village.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace in Portlethen Village?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
