Bath Repair in Sprouston
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths for homes and businesses in Sprouston and across the Scottish Borders. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Bath repair in Sprouston, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Sprouston
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.
Common reasons people in Sprouston contact us are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sprouston. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Sprouston?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
