Common problems we fix in Kilmaurs

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • 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 before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Kilmaurs

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about bath repair in Kilmaurs

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you work in Kilmaurs?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kilmaurs and the rest of East Ayrshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Kilmaurs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

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.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
