Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
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.
Bath repair in Aird, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Do you need bath repair in Aird?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What else we do in Aird
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Aird?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Common questions in Aird
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Na h-Eileanan Siar.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
