Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Dumbiedykes
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
