How we handle bath repair in Ianstown
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ianstown as everywhere else we work.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlord and trade work in Ianstown
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ianstown as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Ianstown
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ianstown. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ianstown, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common questions in Ianstown
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Moray?
Across the UK, so Ianstown is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
