Bath repair in Fortrose without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Fortrose questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
Everywhere in the UK, Fortrose included. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Other services in Fortrose
When to call us in Fortrose
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fortrose. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
