Bath repair in Loaningfoot without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Loaningfoot and across Dumfries and Galloway.

Questions from Loaningfoot
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Loaningfoot is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Loaningfoot. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loaningfoot as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need bath repair in Loaningfoot?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Loaningfoot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
