Bath repair at your home in Eskdalemuir
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Eskdalemuir
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eskdalemuir as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in Eskdalemuir
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Eskdalemuir?
We do. We send a technician to Eskdalemuir for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
