About our bath repair in Dunmere
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common reasons people in Dunmere contact us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side

Dunmere questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Dunmere is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Dunmere
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dunmere. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
