How bath repair works in TD1
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Around Galashiels
In Galashiels, that means homes near Galashiels, Public House and Galashiels Academy. There is a railway station in Galashiels itself: Galashiels station. Nearby you will also find Borders General Hospital (2.7 miles south-east) and Castle Holydean (4.4 miles south-east). For a walk, there is Eildon Mid Hill.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around TD1, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in TD1 use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
TD1: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How do I get a price for bath repair in TD1?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to TD1?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to TD1 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
