Bath repair near Clerkhill

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath repair in Clerkhill without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Common questions in Clerkhill

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, 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 if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Aberdeenshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

When to call us in Clerkhill

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
