Bath repair near Little Brechin

About our bath repair in Little Brechin

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Brechin

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

When to call us in Little Brechin

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

What affects the price in Little Brechin

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Little Brechin. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
