About our bath repair in Watten
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. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Watten and across Highland.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Watten questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
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.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Watten. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Watten. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
