How we handle bath repair in Ballachulish

We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Repairing versus replacing in Ballachulish
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ballachulish. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Ballachulish
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Ballachulish
How much does bath repair cost in Ballachulish?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
