When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Bath repair at your home in Forres
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Forres
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Forres
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Forres
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
