Bath repair near Invergowrie

Bath repair in Invergowrie, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Invergowrie

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Materials we work on in Invergowrie

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

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Common questions in Invergowrie

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Do you come to Invergowrie?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Invergowrie. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Invergowrie, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when 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. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
