Bath repair in Ardchattan, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ardchattan and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Other services in Ardchattan
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Ardchattan
Are there extra charges for Ardchattan?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What affects the price in Ardchattan
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When to call us in Ardchattan
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
