Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Bath repair at your home in Inverugie

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures 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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Inverugie

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit

Your questions about bath repair in Inverugie

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How invisible is a bath repair?

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

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

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

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us
