How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Ardler and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Ardler: your questions answered

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Ardler

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Do you need bath repair in Ardler?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardler use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
