Common questions in Smallburgh
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
About our bath repair in Smallburgh
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smallburgh
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Smallburgh
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common problems we fix in Smallburgh
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
