Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Bath repair at your home in Lochaline
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Lochaline
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochaline
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repair or replace in Lochaline?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
