How we handle bath repair in Blackford

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

How we price bath repair

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

How hard the colour is to match
What the surface is made of
How much damage there is
Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

Any details about the material
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

Have new chips seen to early
Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Blackford: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover the whole of Perth and Kinross?

Across the UK, so Blackford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackford

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
