Bath repair at your home in Achnacroish
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Achnacroish and across Argyll and Bute.

Landlord and trade work in Achnacroish

If you manage property in Achnacroish, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What affects the price in Achnacroish
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Achnacroish get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. 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 is what we repair.
