Bath repair at your home in Newbigging
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Newbigging
Do you need bath repair in Newbigging?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DD5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dundee and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newbigging. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
