Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Bath repair at your home in Dowanhill
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Questions from Dowanhill
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Dowanhill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your G12 postcode.
Are there extra charges for Dowanhill?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
