Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Riverside of Blairs. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
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.

FAQs for Riverside of Blairs
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AB12 postcode.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Riverside of Blairs, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Riverside of Blairs

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Repairing versus replacing in Riverside of Blairs
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Riverside of Blairs. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
