About bath repair in the Shetland Islands

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Pricing in the Shetland Islands

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit.

Common problems we fix in the Shetland Islands

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Common reasons people in the Shetland Islands contact us are:

Chips under the taps
Chips caused by builders
Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Rust by the waste and overflow

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

Rinse it down after each bath
Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What affects the price in the Shetland Islands

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for the Shetland Islands. What changes the price is:

The material
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Doing more than one item at once
Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

One picture of the entire bath
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A clear, close picture of the problem area
Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
