Bath repair at your home in Terregles
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix chips caused by builders and rusty patches near the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions to ask before booking

- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DG2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Terregles
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
Everywhere in the UK, Terregles included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work in Terregles?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Terregles for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
