Bath repair in Fochabers, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
FAQs for Fochabers
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IV32 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Do you need bath repair in Fochabers?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Landlord and trade work in Fochabers
Hospitality businesses 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairing versus replacing in Fochabers
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
