Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Lochcarron?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we are called out for in Lochcarron
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit

Questions from Lochcarron
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lochcarron?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
