Common questions in Rankinston
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Rankinston?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

When to call us in Rankinston
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What affects the price in Rankinston
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rankinston. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rankinston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rankinston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Rankinston?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why Rankinston clients choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
