Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Kirkton of Culsalmond: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is a bath repair permanent?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
