Bath repair at your home in Portgordon
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Portgordon
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Portgordon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What else we do in Portgordon
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Signs you need bath repair in Portgordon
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
