How bath repair works in Aberdeen

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What we are called out for in Aberdeen

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Common questions in Aberdeen

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Aberdeen. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
