About our bath repair in Chapel of Garioch

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense 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. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

What we’re called out for in Chapel of Garioch

Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
