Damaged bath in Hunters Quay? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Bath repair in Hunters Quay, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hunters Quay and across Argyll and Bute.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Hunters Quay: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Hunters Quay?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hunters Quay and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you need bath repair in Hunters Quay?
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath

- Whether the colour is mixed to match

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

- Roll-top & freestanding
Other services in Hunters Quay
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
