How bath repair works in IV24
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. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Local landmarks in Bonar Bridge
Typical jobs here are in homes near Creich Church of Scotland Parish Church and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ardgay station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Migdale Hospital (less than half a mile south-east). For a walk, there is Dùn Creich and Loch Migdale.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in IV24, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the damage happens
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
IV24: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
