Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath repair at your home in Tarbert
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Tarbert

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Tarbert questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tarbert. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HS3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
