Our bath repair service in PH18
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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 following day.
What you will pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What’s near Blair Atholl
In Blair Atholl, that means homes near Bridge Of Tilt, among other places. Blair Atholl has its own railway station: Blair Atholl station. A little further out are Atholl Country Life Museum (under half a mile west) and Blair Castle (0.9 miles north-west). The countryside around Blair Atholl includes Creag Odhar and Loch Moraig.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for PH18. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PH18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath repair
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
