Our hiring checklist

Bath repair in Arrochar, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arrochar

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arrochar as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Arrochar get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
