Bath repair at your home in Kintore

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We’re often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kintore, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Do I have to be there?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

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

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kintore. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
