About our bath repair in Haroldswick
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Haroldswick
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the entire of the Shetland Islands?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Haroldswick. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in Haroldswick
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Haroldswick. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What we’re called out for in Haroldswick
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
