The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Questions from Dalry
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath repair in Dalry?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dalry. The price reflects:

Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalry as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
