How we handle bath repair in Bridge of Alford
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and rust spots around the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Bridge of Alford
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you cover Bridge of Alford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bridge of Alford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath repair in Bridge of Alford
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bridge of Alford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What affects the price in Bridge of Alford
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Bridge of Alford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
