Bath repair at your home in Brora
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Brora and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brora. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Brora: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work in Brora?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Brora and the rest of Highland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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’s the part we put right.
Brora and the surrounding area
Brora is about 29 miles north of Forres, in Highland. We visit clients in Brora and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Brora is one of 253 places in Highland we cover.
Here we cover the KW9 postcode area. Whether you live on Market Street, High Street and Gower Street or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. Other places close to Brora include Clynelish (1 mile north), Dalchalm (1 mile north), Golspie (5 miles south-west), Littleferry (8 miles south-west) and Embo (9 miles south-west).

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What affects the price in Brora
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Brora
For anyone letting property in or around Brora, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
