Your questions about bath repair in East Helmsdale
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including East Helmsdale and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Bath repair in East Helmsdale, done in place
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in East Helmsdale
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Helmsdale use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in East Helmsdale, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
