How we handle bath repair in Innis nan Lìon

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Innis nan Lìon and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Innis nan Lìon

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

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

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Innis nan Lìon

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.
