How we handle bath repair in Dunblane

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s 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. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dunblane and across Stirling.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

You don’t 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.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Dunblane?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need bath repair in Dunblane

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Dunblane get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
