Our bath repair service in PH8
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Local landmarks in Dunkeld
Around Dunkeld, we work in homes near Perth Arms Hotel, Dunkeld and The Hermitage. Dunkeld’s nearest station is Dunkeld & Birnam station, roughly 0.7 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Murthly Castle (3.3 miles south-east) and Scottish Horse Regimental Museum (less than half a mile west). Open spaces near Dunkeld include Loch of Craiglush and Birnam Hill.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in PH8, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
PH8: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
