Bath repair at your home in Dinnet
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in Dinnet
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Dinnet: your questions answered
Do you work in Dinnet?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dinnet and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Dinnet included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dinnet. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
