Bath repair in Gorthleck

How we handle bath repair in Gorthleck

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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, usually the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Gorthleck

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book

Questions from Gorthleck

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
