Bath Repair for Broughty Ferry homes
We travel to Broughty Ferry for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Bath repair at your home in Broughty Ferry
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repairing versus replacing in Broughty Ferry
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Broughty Ferry. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Questions from Broughty Ferry
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dundee, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
