Bath repair in Loch Baghasdail, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Loch Baghasdail
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Loch Baghasdail
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
