Bath repair in Aithsetter, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aithsetter as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aithsetter: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you work in Aithsetter?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Aithsetter and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
