Bath repair at your home in Strathpeffer
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Strathpeffer and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Strathpeffer
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you come to Strathpeffer?
We do. We send a technician to Strathpeffer for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Common problems we fix in Strathpeffer
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Strathpeffer
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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 affects the price in Strathpeffer
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IV14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
You do not 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
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
