If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

Signs you need bath repair in Strathkinness
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Your questions about bath repair in Strathkinness
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Strathkinness
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KY16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match
