What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Glencarse and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glencarse

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common questions in Glencarse

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Do you cover the whole of Perth and Kinross?

The entire UK, including all of Perth and Kinross. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How much does bath repair cost in Glencarse?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Perth and Kinross.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we’re called out for in Glencarse

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repairing versus replacing in Glencarse

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Glencarse. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
