About our bath repair in Rosemarkie
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through

Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Rosemarkie
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
