Questions from Dundee
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Dundee and the rest of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we handle bath repair in Dundee
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.
What else we do in Dundee
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dundee use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Signs you need bath repair in Dundee
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dundee. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
