DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 generally cheaper.
Bath repair at your home in Sandness
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. 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. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Sandness
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Sandness?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Repair or replace in Sandness?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sandness. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandness use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Sandness
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
