How we handle bath repair in Duloe
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Signs you need bath repair in Duloe
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common questions in Duloe
Is repairing better 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.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Duloe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
