About our bath repair in Braehead and Broomridge

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Braehead and Broomridge and across Stirling.

Repair or replace in Braehead and Broomridge?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing typically 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

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
