Bath repair at your home in St Monance
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months in St Monance and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in St Monance
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Fife.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How much does bath repair cost in St Monance?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Signs you need bath repair in St Monance
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in St Monance, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
