Bath Repair for Sanndabhaig homes
Fixed-price bath repair in Sanndabhaig and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair in Sanndabhaig without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides

Questions from Sanndabhaig
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK
