Bath repair at your home in Town Yetholm
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
What we are called out for in Town Yetholm
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Your questions about bath repair in Town Yetholm
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Town Yetholm and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you cover Town Yetholm?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Town Yetholm for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Town Yetholm as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
