Bath repair in Dunoon without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunoon
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Dunoon
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What else we do in Dunoon
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
