Bath chip & crack repair in St Quivox, South Ayrshire
Bath repair in and around St Quivox: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair in St Quivox without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

St Quivox: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including St Quivox and the rest of South Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are there extra charges for St Quivox?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in St Quivox
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit

- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
