Bath repair in Gretna, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Gretna
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What else we do in Gretna
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gretna

Gretna: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
