Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
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.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How we handle bath repair in Nether Dallachy
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Nether Dallachy, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Do you need bath repair in Nether Dallachy?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
What affects the price in Nether Dallachy
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Your questions about bath repair in Nether Dallachy
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IV32 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
