Common problems we fix in Boyndie

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for these signs:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath repair in Boyndie

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. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Boyndie

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Boyndie and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Your questions about bath repair in Boyndie

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Boyndie included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in Boyndie?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Boyndie and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
