Bath repair in Clachan without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What affects the price in Clachan
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clachan. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Clachan questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
