How we handle bath repair in Garioch

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in Garioch?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Garioch

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you work in Garioch?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Garioch. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Signs you need bath repair in Garioch

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips caused by builders

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Garioch, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Garioch

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

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

Composite and resin

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