Bath repair at your home in Ardchonnell
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. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Ardchonnell
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Ardchonnell?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Ardchonnell
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you cover Ardchonnell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ardchonnell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
