About bath repair in PA37
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and damage beneath the taps.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Getting a price
For a price in PA37, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Around Dunbeg
Typical jobs here are in homes near Dunstaffnage Chapel and the streets around them. Dunbeg’s nearest station is Connel Ferry station, roughly 2.5 miles east. A little further out are Oban Museum (2.2 miles south-west) and Lorn and Islands Hospital (3.4 miles south). For a walk, there’s Lochan Dubh.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in PA37
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairing versus replacing
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Common questions in PA37
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
