Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

About our bath repair in Caldercruix

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 day after. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Caldercruix

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Landlord and trade work in Caldercruix

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caldercruix use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Caldercruix

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and 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 bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
