Bath repair in Ardgay

About our bath repair in Ardgay

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We are often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need bath repair in Ardgay?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlord and trade work in Ardgay

For anyone letting property in or around Ardgay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardgay use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Questions from Ardgay

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What affects the price in Ardgay

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ardgay. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ardgay. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
