Bath repair in Dunure without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Rusty patches near the plughole

- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps

Can I fix it myself?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Dunure questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the entire of South Ayrshire?
We work UK-wide, so Dunure is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover Dunure?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Dunure and the rest of South Ayrshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dunure. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. 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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
