Rothesay: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Bath repair in Rothesay without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need bath repair in Rothesay?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Rothesay
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
