Bath repair for Carloggas homes

Bath repair at your home in Carloggas

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Carloggas

How much does bath repair cost in Carloggas?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR8 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carloggas

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Carloggas

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
