Roxburgh: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across the Scottish Borders.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Roxburgh?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Bath repair in Roxburgh, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roxburgh
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Common problems we fix in Roxburgh
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Roxburgh. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
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 quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
