Bath repair in Evanton without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Should you replace it?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Evanton
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Evanton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Evanton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
