Need bath repair in Cuidhir?

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

About our bath repair in Cuidhir

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Do you need bath repair in Cuidhir?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Cuidhir

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Cuidhir

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
