What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Bath repair in Scatness, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Scatness get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Scatness: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Scatness and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scatness. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
