Bath repair in Bearsden

How we handle bath repair in Bearsden

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and a cracked acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bearsden. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bearsden, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bearsden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Common problems we fix in Bearsden

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
