About our bath repair in Donside Village
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we are called out for in Donside Village

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
