Bath repair at your home in ZE3
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Around Hestingott
Typical jobs here are in homes near Cross Kirk. A little further out are Shetland Crofthouse Museum (1.7 miles north-east). The countryside around Hestingott includes Sumburgh Head RSPB reserve and Loch of Huesbreck.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around ZE3, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in ZE3
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
ZE3: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for ZE3?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
