Bath repair at your home in IV26
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
What it costs in IV26
Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Around Ullapool
In Ullapool, that means homes near Ullapool, Ullapool old parish church and Ullapool School. Further afield, we also cover the area around Ullapool Museum (less than half a mile south-west). For a walk, there’s Loch Dubh Beag.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
Signs you need bath repair
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in IV26
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How much does bath repair cost in IV26?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IV26 postcode.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
