Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
About our bath repair in Burnside of Duntrune
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 day after. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burnside of Duntrune and across Dundee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back

FAQs for Burnside of Duntrune
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
