Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair at your home in Dunveth
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Dunveth
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunveth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Dunveth
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why Dunveth clients choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Dunveth questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When to call us in Dunveth
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
