Bath chip & crack repair in Parkgate, Dumfries and Galloway
Our repair technicians come to Parkgate for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Parkgate, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

About bath chip & crack repair
Landlord and trade work in Parkgate
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Parkgate, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Your questions about bath repair in Parkgate
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Parkgate is covered. Prices do not change with location.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work in Parkgate?
We do. We send a technician to Parkgate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Parkgate. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Parkgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Parkgate and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Parkgate
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
