- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we handle bath repair in Bower
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bower and across Highland.

Landlord and trade work in Bower
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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 to keep costs down.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bower. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Signs you need bath repair in Bower
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Bower
Do you cover Bower?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bower for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in Bower?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
