About our bath repair in Aultbea
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. 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 pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need bath repair in Aultbea
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items

Questions from Aultbea
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Are there extra charges for Aultbea?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Aultbea get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
