Bath repair in Ardrishaig without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Ardrishaig
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Ardrishaig
What affects the price in Ardrishaig
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Ardrishaig get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace in Ardrishaig?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
