About our bath repair in Dornoch
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. You can typically use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and deep scratches in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Dornoch
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need bath repair in Dornoch
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IV25 postcode.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Dornoch
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Dornoch, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
