Bath repair in Portpatrick, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Other services in Portpatrick
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Portpatrick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the entire UK
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Portpatrick
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
Common questions in Portpatrick
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
