- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include

About our bath repair in Ardbrecknish
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Common questions in Ardbrecknish
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
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.
Are there extra charges for Ardbrecknish?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What else we do in Ardbrecknish
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PA33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
