Rattar and nearby
Rattar is about 10 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. From the centre of Rattar to the outlying streets, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians cover all 253 towns and villages across Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.
Here we cover the KW14 postcode area. We also travel to Scarfskerry (1 mile north-west), Dunnet (3 miles south-west), Brough (3 miles west), Canisbay (5 miles east) and Castletown (5 miles south-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Landmarks near Rattar
Further afield, we also cover the area around Castle of Mey (1.6 miles east) and Westside Croft (3.2 miles west). For a walk, there is Loch of Mey.
Landlord and trade work in Rattar
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Signs you need bath repair in Rattar
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for these signs:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Common questions in Rattar
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Rattar?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rattar. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
