Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Bath repair in Whauphill, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Whauphill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Do you work in Whauphill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Whauphill and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?
The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When to call us in Whauphill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Whauphill
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
