Common problems we fix in Lochinver
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Bath repair in Lochinver without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Lochinver
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- 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 before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lochinver. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IV27 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, 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 how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
