When to call us in Lochfoot

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
Before booking anyone

Bath repair at your home in Lochfoot
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Lochfoot get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath repair in Lochfoot
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
