Bath Repair for Inverlochy homes
Fixed-price bath repair in Inverlochy and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price

Bath repair in Inverlochy without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and rust spots around the plughole, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

What affects the price in Inverlochy
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inverlochy as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Inverlochy
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone

Inverlochy: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Inverlochy?
We do. Technicians travel to Inverlochy from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
