About bath repair in IV17
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
What it costs in IV17
Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

- Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in IV17
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including IV17. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in IV17, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in IV17
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
IV17: your questions answered
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
