Bath repair in Dumfries and Galloway

About bath repair in Dumfries and Galloway

You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots where the enamel has gone and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
