How we handle bath repair in Keills
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Keills
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need bath repair in Keills?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repairing versus replacing in Keills
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
About Keills
Keills is in Argyll and Bute. Anywhere in PA46, a technician comes to you. Keills is one of 118 places in Argyll and Bute we cover. Our nearest city page is Glasgow, about 72 miles away.
Every address in PA46 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also travel to Port Askaig (1 mile north-east), Bunnahabhain (3 miles north), Craighouse (7 miles east), Bowmore (8 miles south-west) and Port Charlotte (12 miles south-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Further afield, we also cover the area around Finlaggan Castle (1.8 miles west). The countryside around Keills includes Loch Ballygrant and Beinn Dubh.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Keills questions
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
