About our bath repair in Burnmouth

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Burnmouth

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders

How to compare quotes

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Burnmouth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
