About our bath repair in Lochgoilhead
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lochgoilhead and across Argyll and Bute.

Repairing versus replacing in Lochgoilhead
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Look after the repair the same way as 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. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Lochgoilhead
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Lochgoilhead contact us are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
