What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Brèibhig
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Na h-Eileanan Siar.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
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 will tell you what to expect.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brèibhig
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brèibhig as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Brèibhig. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Brèibhig. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common problems we fix in Brèibhig
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
Comparing quotes
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
