Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath repair in North Roe without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in North Roe and across the Shetland Islands.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Your questions about bath repair in North Roe
Do you work in North Roe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to North Roe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the entire of the Shetland Islands?
Everywhere in the UK, North Roe included. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
