How we handle bath repair in Mochrum
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Mochrum questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What affects the price in Mochrum
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mochrum. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mochrum
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When to call us in Mochrum
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
