Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we’re called out for in Stonehaven
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.

Getting ready for the visit

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Stonehaven
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
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.
Do you come to Stonehaven?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stonehaven. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stonehaven. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
