How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

About our bath repair in St Boswells
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we are called out for in St Boswells
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to St Boswells. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

FAQs for St Boswells
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
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.
