How bath repair works in AB31
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Prices in AB31
Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Near you in Banchory
Typical jobs here are in homes near Banchory Ternan East Church, Burnett Arms Hotel and Banchory Academy and the streets around them. Further afield, we also cover the area around Crathes Castle (1.8 miles east) and Glen O'Dee Hospital (1.2 miles west). Not far away are Black Loch and Scolty Hill.
What we’re called out for in AB31
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in AB31 get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Your questions about bath repair in AB31
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
