When a repair isn’t the answer

What else we do in Ceann Tangabhal
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Ceann Tangabhal: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover Ceann Tangabhal?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ceann Tangabhal and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ceann Tangabhal. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Ceann Tangabhal
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ceann Tangabhal as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
