Bath repair in Drumvaich without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Drumvaich
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Drumvaich
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Drumvaich?
We do. We send a technician to Drumvaich for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually 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. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Common problems we fix in Drumvaich
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
