How bath repair works in IV31
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, typically the day after.
Prices in IV31
Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Near you in Lossiemouth
Around Lossiemouth, we work in homes near Lossiemouth High School, Branderburgh and James Square. Other landmarks nearby include Lossiemouth Fisheries and Community Museum (0.6 miles north-east) and Kinneddar Castle (0.6 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Loch Spynie.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Landlord and trade work in IV31
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in IV31 use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Signs you need bath repair
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
IV31: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for bath repair in IV31?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
