Bath repair in Portskerra, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Portskerra, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Portskerra
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A fixed quote before booking

Other services in Portskerra
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Portskerra
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Common questions in Portskerra
Are there extra charges for Portskerra?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
