Bath Repair for Portknockie homes
Our technicians come to Portknockie for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
About our bath repair in Portknockie
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. We’re often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. 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. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Portknockie
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portknockie use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Portknockie
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does bath repair cost in Portknockie?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
