About our bath repair in Kilmuir

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Kilmuir?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions from Kilmuir

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you work in Kilmuir?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kilmuir from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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 will tell you what to expect.

Will the repair last?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kilmuir. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kilmuir. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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 pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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