Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Halleaths customers choose us

How we handle bath repair in Halleaths
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Halleaths: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How much does bath repair cost in Halleaths?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
The entire UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When to call us in Halleaths
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
