How we handle bath repair in Scotby
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, usually in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Do you need bath repair in Scotby?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit

- What prep work is covered
The process
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 tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Scotby. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Scotby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
