Bath Repair in Garelochhead
Problem with your bath in Garelochhead? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, 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.
About our bath repair in Garelochhead
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’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and damage beneath the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Garelochhead, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
