Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Bath repair at your home in Kalliness
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kalliness as everywhere else we work.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kalliness. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Your questions about bath repair in Kalliness
Do you cover the entire of the Shetland Islands?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Landlord and trade work in Kalliness
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
