Bath repair at your home in Sauchen
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sauchen and across Aberdeenshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sauchen
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sauchen use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Do you need bath repair in Sauchen?
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Sauchen: your questions answered
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sauchen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
