Our bath repair service in KW14
You don’t 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 scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What’s near Thurso

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

How the damage happens
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
