About our bath repair in Kingennie
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kingennie and across Dundee.

Your questions about bath repair in Kingennie
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When to call us in Kingennie
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Kingennie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kingennie. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kingennie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Kingennie
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Kingennie clients choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
