What we’re called out for in Kinfauns

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath repair in Kinfauns, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kinfauns

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Kinfauns and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Kinfauns questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
