Bath Repair for Port Ellen homes
Damaged bath in Port Ellen? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath repair in Port Ellen
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Port Ellen. What changes the price is:

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Port Ellen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Our work in Port Ellen
Port Ellen (Gaelic: Port Eilein) is about 30 miles north of Ballycastle, in Argyll and Bute. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Port Ellen is one of 118 towns and villages in Argyll and Bute where we work. We work right across the region, from Port Ellen to Glasgow (about 76 miles away).
All of PA42 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You’ll find streets such as Mansefield Road, Mansefield Place and Back Road, and we cover them all.

Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Repairing versus replacing in Port Ellen
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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Port Ellen
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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 photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Port Ellen

When to call us in Port Ellen
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole

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. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Ellen use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
