Landlord and trade work in Avoch

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Avoch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

About our bath repair in Avoch

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Do you need bath repair in Avoch?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why Avoch clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath repair in Avoch

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Avoch.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you redo an old repair?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Avoch. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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