Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sgalpaigh
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
FAQs for Sgalpaigh
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
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.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Sgalpaigh?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we’re called out for in Sgalpaigh
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
