About our bath repair in Port Bannatyne
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Port Bannatyne
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?
The entire UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need bath repair in Port Bannatyne
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
