Common questions in Lerwick
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does bath repair cost in Lerwick?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, 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.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Lerwick and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How we handle bath repair in Lerwick
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need bath repair in Lerwick?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Lerwick
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Lerwick
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
