- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
How we handle bath repair in Johnstonebridge
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. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

Repairing versus replacing in Johnstonebridge
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Johnstonebridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Johnstonebridge customers choose us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Johnstonebridge

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Johnstonebridge questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
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.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we are called out for in Johnstonebridge
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.
Common reasons people in Johnstonebridge contact us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
