FAQs for Auchinairn

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you come to Auchinairn?

We do. We send a technician to Auchinairn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Bath repair in Auchinairn without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We are frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Auchinairn. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Auchinairn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Signs you need bath repair in Auchinairn

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
