How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
How we handle bath repair in Dalmuir
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
When to call us in Dalmuir
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Dalmuir contact us are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Dalmuir: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Dalmuir?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
