Blochairn questions

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How we handle bath repair in Blochairn

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Blochairn. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Store metal items away from the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
