Bath repair across FK10: what to expect
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Local landmarks in Alloa
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Alloa North Church, Alloa Academy and The Bobbing John pub, among other places. There’s a railway station in Alloa itself: Alloa station. Nearby you will also find Old Tulliallan Castle (3.8 miles south-east) and Alloa Museum And Gallery (under half a mile south). For a walk, there’s Black Devon Wetlands RSPB Reserve and Myreton Hill.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in FK10
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FK10: your questions answered

Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
