About bath repair in Argyll and Bute

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

Near you in Helensburgh

Around Helensburgh, we work in homes near Lomond School, The Henry Bell pub and St Joseph's R.C. Church. There is a railway station in Helensburgh itself: Helensburgh Central station. Other landmarks nearby include Ardencaple Castle (1.3 miles west) and Victoria Infirmary (0.5 miles south-east). Open spaces near Helensburgh include Lyle Hill.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.

Questions to ask before booking

What happens if they find more damage
Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How soon you can use it again

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Metal that has corroded all the way through
Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

How much damage there is
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What the surface is made of
Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
What it’s made of, if you know
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

Rinse it down after each bath
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
