Bath Repair in Plockton
Fixed-price bath repair in Plockton and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath repair at your home in Plockton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on

- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath

Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in Plockton
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
