What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Bath repair in Doonfoot, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

Doonfoot questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Doonfoot?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What we’re called out for in Doonfoot
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
