Bath chip & crack repair in Portessie, Moray
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Portessie, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair at your home in Portessie
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

FAQs for Portessie
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AB56 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover Portessie?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Portessie. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Portessie. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most customers in Portessie get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
