About our bath repair in Dunburgh
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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and deep scratches in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Dunburgh
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath repair cost in Dunburgh?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NR34 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dunburgh. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath repair in Dunburgh
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
