How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know

- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.

Questions from Clarencefield
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
Across the UK, and that includes Clarencefield. Prices do not change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What else we do in Clarencefield
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
