Bath repair in Lochboisdale without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We are frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Rural addresses like Lochboisdale just need a little planning. Let us know about access and where to park, and we’ll do the rest.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere like Lochboisdale needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the bath repair comes with us in one trip.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Common problems we fix in Lochboisdale
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
For older houses around Lochboisdale, near landmarks such as South Uist, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath repair gives it years more use.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
Landlord and trade work in Lochboisdale
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Na h-Eileanan Siar and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Lochboisdale
Do you come out to small places like Lochboisdale?
Yes, we do: Lochboisdale is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Lochboisdale?
Often, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Lochboisdale?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
