Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Achintee. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we are called out for in Achintee
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Achintee: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Achintee. Prices don’t change with location.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
