- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Whirlpool & spa baths
About our bath repair in Strichen
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Strichen
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Strichen?
We do. We send a technician to Strichen for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Strichen
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When to call us in Strichen
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
