Common questions in Melness
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Bath repair at your home in Melness
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What affects the price in Melness
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Do you need bath repair in Melness?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Landlord and trade work in Melness
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
