When to call us in Troqueer
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow

About our bath repair in Troqueer
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Troqueer
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Troqueer
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Troqueer customers choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
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.
