Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Bath repair at your home in Fort Augustus
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Questions from Fort Augustus
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the entire of Highland?
We cover the entire UK, including Fort Augustus and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair in Fort Augustus
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
