Bath repair in Lochend without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. 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.

A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

When to call us in Lochend
Most bath damage starts 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 lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while we work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
