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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Dryburgh without replacing anything
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, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Dryburgh questions
How much does bath repair cost in Dryburgh?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Dryburgh?
We do. We send a technician to Dryburgh for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Do you need bath repair in Dryburgh?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
What affects the price in Dryburgh
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
