Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
When to call us in Dalwhinnie
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dalwhinnie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Dalwhinnie
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does bath repair cost in Dalwhinnie?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
