About our bath repair in Dreghorn
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Dreghorn
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Landlord and trade work in Dreghorn
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Dreghorn, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What affects the price in Dreghorn
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dreghorn. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

Questions from Dreghorn
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
