Bath repair at your home in New Galloway

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairing versus replacing in New Galloway

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Your questions about bath repair in New Galloway

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 before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we’re called out for in New Galloway

Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in New Galloway

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for New Galloway. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Galloway

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in New Galloway, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
