What affects the price in Arbuthnott
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Arbuthnott. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Arbuthnott, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Arbuthnott
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How much does bath repair cost in Arbuthnott?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your AB30 postcode.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Arbuthnott. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Arbuthnott
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
