Bath repair in Inveraldie without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inveraldie
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Inveraldie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How much does bath repair cost in Inveraldie?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DD4 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What affects the price in Inveraldie
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Inveraldie. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Inveraldie, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Do not 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.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
