About bath repair in IV21
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and chips under the taps.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Around Gairloch
In Gairloch, that means homes near Gairloch High School, Gairloch and Gairloch School. Well-known places in the area include Gairloch Museum (within half a mile south-east). For a walk, there’s Cnoc Dubh and Linne a' Mhuilinn.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in IV21, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.
Questions to ask before booking

IV21 questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
