How we handle bath repair in Boddam

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repair or replace in Boddam?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Boddam

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Boddam

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for these signs:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Common questions in Boddam

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Will the repair show?

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

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
