Bath chip & crack repair in Kirkton, Dumfries and Galloway
Our repair technicians come to Kirkton for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit.

Do you need bath repair in Kirkton?
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Kirkton
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Kirkton?
We do. Technicians travel to Kirkton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
