Bath repair across IV1: what to expect

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Landlords, agents and businesses in IV1

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in IV1 use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in IV1, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Signs you need bath repair

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for these signs:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
