Bath chip & crack repair in Voe, Shetland Islands
Problem with your bath in Voe? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we handle bath repair in Voe
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Voe
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What affects the price in Voe
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Voe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Voe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Voe
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Voe
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Voe
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
