Bath repair at your home in Strachan
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Landlord and trade work in Strachan
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strachan as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Strachan, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

What else we do in Strachan
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
