Your questions about bath repair in Staffin
Do you cover Staffin?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Staffin and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are there extra charges for Staffin?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Bath repair in Staffin, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Do you need bath repair in Staffin?
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 usually mention when they call are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Covering Staffin
Staffin (Gaelic: Stafainn) is in Highland. Book a date that suits you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you are not left waiting in all day. Staffin is one of 253 places in Highland we cover.
Every address in IV51 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Nearby, we also work in Kilmaluag (5 miles north-west), Uig (6 miles west), Clachamish (11 miles south-west), An t-Aodann Ban (14 miles south-west) and Portree (15 miles south). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
Local landmarks in Staffin
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Staffin Primary School and Skye and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Isle Of Skye Ecomuseum (1.3 miles south-east). Open spaces near Staffin include Beinn Mheadhonach and Loch Cleap.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
