Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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 handle bath repair in Piperdam
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 next day. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Piperdam. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Piperdam
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Piperdam. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Piperdam questions
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
