Your questions about bath repair in Portmahomack
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Portmahomack
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour-matched on site

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Portmahomack. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
