Choosing a repair company

Bath repair at your home in High Ruchill

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in High Ruchill as everywhere else we work.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

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.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

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

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in High Ruchill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

High Ruchill questions

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover High Ruchill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to High Ruchill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for High Ruchill?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
