About our bath repair in Dragonby
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Dragonby
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps

What affects the price in Dragonby
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Dragonby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What else we do in Dragonby
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Dragonby

- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
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 typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
