Bath repair in Inbhir Aora without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about bath repair in Inbhir Aora
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
When to call us in Inbhir Aora
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should you replace it?
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, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
