Questions from Garthdee
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you come to Garthdee?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Garthdee and the rest of Aberdeen. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Aberdeen. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
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 we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Garthdee. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Repair or replace in Garthdee?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Garthdee, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we are called out for in Garthdee
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
