About our bath repair in Inverarnan

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Inverarnan

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What affects the price in Inverarnan

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Inverarnan. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Inverarnan

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of West Dunbartonshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
