Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Torbeg
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of North Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What affects the price in Torbeg
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Torbeg and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we’re called out for in Torbeg
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.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torbeg use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Torbeg, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Torbeg. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
