Bath repair at your home in Sandwick
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a chipped rim or side, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sandwick and across the Shetland Islands.

What else we do in Sandwick
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Sandwick
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Sandwick questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Sandwick?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sandwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandwick
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
