About our bath repair in Forss
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Our work in Forss
Forss is about 4 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. We travel to homes and businesses in Forss and the surrounding area, so there is no workshop to go to. We work in 253 places in Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.
Here we cover the KW14 postcode area. Nearby, we also work in Westfield (3 miles south), Janetstown (3 miles south-east), Scrabster (3 miles east), Glengolly (4 miles south-east) and Thurso (4 miles east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Near you in Forss
The nearest railway station is Thurso station, roughly 4.2 miles east. Further afield, we also cover the area around Thurso Heritage Museum (3.8 miles east) and Scrabster Castle (3.8 miles east).
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Forss
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Do you need bath repair in Forss?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath

FAQs for Forss
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
