Need bath repair in Fauldhouse?

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Bath repair in Fauldhouse without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Fauldhouse and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

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.

Common problems we fix in Fauldhouse

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Common reasons people in Fauldhouse contact us are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A chipped rim or side

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

Do you cover the entire of West Lothian?

Across the UK, so Fauldhouse is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Fauldhouse

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fauldhouse. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fauldhouse, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

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.
