How we handle bath repair in Kyle of Lochalsh
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What affects the price in Kyle of Lochalsh
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kyle of Lochalsh. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kyle of Lochalsh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
