Bath repair near Inverasdale

Bath repair in Inverasdale without replacing anything

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. You can normally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Inverasdale

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV22 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Inverasdale: your questions answered

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Inverasdale?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Inverasdale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
