Bath Repair for Dunscore homes
We travel to Dunscore for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our bath repair in Dunscore
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and chips under the taps.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

Dunscore: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
We cover the whole UK, including Dunscore and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dumfries and Galloway.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Dunscore
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dunscore. The price depends on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Dunscore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
