How we handle bath repair in Kelloholm
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Kelloholm
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
When to call us in Kelloholm
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Kelloholm
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 will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
