Bath repair at your home in DG14
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Cost
Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get 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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What’s near Canonbie
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Canonbie Parish Church and the streets around them. Nearby you will also find Auchenrivock Tower (2.8 miles north-west) and Thomas Hope Hospital (5.3 miles north). Open spaces near Canonbie include Bloch Hill.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in DG14
If you manage property in DG14, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in DG14 as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
How the damage happens
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
