Bath repair in Dunbeath without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dunbeath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before booking

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Questions from Dunbeath
Do you cover Dunbeath?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Dunbeath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need bath repair in Dunbeath?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

What affects the price in Dunbeath
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunbeath
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.
