Bath repair at your home in Kirkcudbright
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

- Same prices wherever you are
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kirkcudbright. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
