How we handle bath repair in Etteridge
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What we’re called out for in Etteridge
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Etteridge questions
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
Everywhere in the UK, Etteridge included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you work in Etteridge?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Etteridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Etteridge
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

- No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Etteridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
