- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

How we handle bath repair in Stevenston
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, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stevenston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stevenston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
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.

FAQs for Stevenston
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Stevenston and the rest of North Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Stevenston?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Stevenston?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.
Look out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Stevenston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
