Your questions about bath repair in Dyke
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Moray. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Bath repair in Dyke, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re often asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Dyke and the surrounding area
Dyke is about 3 miles west of Forres, in Moray. Wherever you are in the IV36 postcode area, we come to you. Dyke is one of 58 places in Moray where we work.
We work across the IV36 postcode area. Jobs here include addresses on Davidson Place, Darklass Road and Fir Park. Neighbouring places we cover include Red Craig (2 miles east), Mundole (2 miles south-east), Forres (3 miles east), Auldearn (5 miles south-west) and Rafford (5 miles east). Further out, we also cover Elgin (14 miles east), Ashgrove (15 miles east), Burghead (10 miles north-east), Hopeman (12 miles north-east) and Kinloss (6 miles east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
Local landmarks in Dyke
Around Dyke, we work in homes near Dyke Parish Church. For rail, the closest station is Forres station, about 2.6 miles east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Leanchoil Hospital (3.9 miles east) and Brodie Castle (0.7 miles south-west). For a walk, there is Loch of Blairs and Culbin Sandhills.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Dyke
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Dyke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

There’s 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.
