Trusted bath repair in Ardbeg

Bath repair at your home in Ardbeg

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Ardbeg

How do I get a price for bath repair in Ardbeg?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ardbeg. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Ardbeg, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
