Bath repair for Bundalloch homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bundalloch

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bundalloch use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Bundalloch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How we handle bath repair in Bundalloch

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Bundalloch

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

  • What the surface is made of

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
