Bath repair in Sauchie, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Clackmannanshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Sauchie questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Sauchie?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Clackmannanshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sauchie, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
