Bath repair in Pitcalnie, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and impact holes in acrylic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pitcalnie and across Highland.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pitcalnie: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Pitcalnie is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Pitcalnie?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Pitcalnie from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
What affects the price in Pitcalnie
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pitcalnie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Pitcalnie, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
