When to call us in Tongue
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
Bath repair in Tongue, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Tongue
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tongue, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Tongue, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often 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.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Tongue and the surrounding area
Tongue is about 33 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. We agree a date that works for you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so there’s no waiting around. Tongue is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover.
Our visits in IV27 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. From Varich Place and Loyal Terrace or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. We also cover the places around Tongue: Melness (4 miles north), Am Blàran Odhar (8 miles north-east), Smoo (13 miles north-west), Altnaharra (13 miles south) and Diuranais (14 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
What’s near Tongue
We visit homes around St Andrew's Church and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Castle Varrich (0.7 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Cnoc an Fhreiceadain and Lochan Hakel.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
