Bath repair at your home in AB13
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. 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 regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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, normally the next day.

Local landmarks in Milltimber
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Cults Academy, The Den and the Glen and International School of Aberdeen, among other places. A little further out are Woodend Hospital (3.5 miles north-east) and Blairs College (1.6 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Portlethen Moss and Beans Hill.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common problems we fix in AB13
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Landlord and trade work in AB13
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.

AB13 questions
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
