Bath repair at your home in Kirkcaldy
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

When to call us in Kirkcaldy
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches and burns
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone

Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
