How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

About our bath repair in Culloden
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Culloden
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Do you need bath repair in Culloden?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace in Culloden?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
