Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Muirhead. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Muirhead
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

FAQs for Muirhead
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Muirhead?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Muirhead and the rest of Dundee. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
