How we handle bath repair in Fort William

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Fort William

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

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

Landlord and trade work in Fort William

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Common questions in Fort William

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

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 are called out for in Fort William

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
