Repairing versus replacing in Dumbiedykes
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Bath repair at your home in Dumbiedykes
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

When to call us in Dumbiedykes
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

Dumbiedykes questions
How much does bath repair cost in Dumbiedykes?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EH8 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and clean up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
