Bath repair in Scourie without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we are called out for in Scourie
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Look out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Scourie
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Scourie. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
