Bath repair in Belhelvie without replacing anything

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Belhelvie

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work in Belhelvie?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Belhelvie and the rest of Aberdeen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How much does bath repair cost in Belhelvie?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Signs you need bath repair in Belhelvie

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repair or replace in Belhelvie?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Belhelvie use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

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

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.
