Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Dennistoun
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dennistoun. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Common problems we fix in Dennistoun
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Customers typically contact us about:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
