What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath repair at your home in Balloch
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Near you in Balloch
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Culloden Academy and Barn Church and the streets around them. Balloch’s nearest station is Inverness Airport station, roughly 3.5 miles north-east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Raigmore Hospital (3.3 miles south-west) and Castle Stuart (1.8 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Ord Hill.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Balloch?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
