How bath repair works in DG1
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Repair or replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in DG1
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around DG1, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in DG1 get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in DG1
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Questions from DG1
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
