What affects the price in Drumoig
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Bath repair at your home in Drumoig
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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 cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Drumoig
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Common reasons people in Drumoig contact us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Drumoig questions
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
