- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our bath repair in Drongan
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. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath repair in Drongan
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Drongan is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Drongan
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Signs you need bath repair in Drongan
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
