What we’re called out for in Dundonald
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Dundonald
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Dundonald?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
