Bath Repair in New Abbey
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in New Abbey, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including New Abbey. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in New Abbey, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Bath repair at your home in New Abbey
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We are frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in New Abbey
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in New Abbey
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Repairing versus replacing in New Abbey
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
