About our bath repair in Connel
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Also in Connel
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Questions from Connel
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Connel
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Connel
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
