Bath repair for Arisaig homes

Bath repair in Arisaig, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Arisaig 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Arisaig

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

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

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

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

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Materials we work on in Arisaig

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

Repairs by material

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’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Common problems we fix in Arisaig

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
