Bath repair in Aberlemno, done in place

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

How to compare quotes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Aberlemno. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Aberlemno, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberlemno

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
