Bath repair at your home in Tain
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tain and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Tain
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

When to call us in Tain
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
