Bath repair at your home in Castletown
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Castletown and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Castletown
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Are there extra charges for Castletown?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Most customers in Castletown get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When to call us in Castletown
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Where we work around Castletown
Castletown is about 5 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Anywhere in KW14, a technician comes to you. Our repair technicians cover 253 places across Highland.
Postcode districts we cover here: KW14. You’ll find streets such as Calder Square, Main Street and Traill Street, and we cover them all. If you are just outside Castletown, we cover Murkle (2 miles west), Dunnet (3 miles north-east), Brough (4 miles north), Bower (4 miles south-east) and Thurso (5 miles west).

Landmarks near Castletown
Our customers here include homes close to St Trothan's Church and the streets around them. Further afield, we also cover the area around Thurso Castle (4.4 miles west) and Dunbar Hospital (5.5 miles west). For a walk, there’s St John's Loch.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
