Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle bath repair in Stirling
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Stirling: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you come to Stirling?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stirling for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Signs you need bath repair in Stirling
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for these signs:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stirling. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Stirling get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
