Bath Repair in Aywick
Fixed-price bath repair in Aywick and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
About our bath repair in Aywick
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aywick and across the Shetland Islands.

Repair or replace in Aywick?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aywick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Aywick
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Aywick?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ZE2 postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Aywick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
