Common problems we fix in Lochdon

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lochdon. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Your questions about bath repair in Lochdon

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will the repair show?

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.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
