About our bath repair in Coulport

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Coulport

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

Across the UK, and that includes Coulport. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G84 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
