Bath repair in Lochluichart without replacing anything

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Lochluichart: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover Lochluichart?

We do. We send a technician to Lochluichart for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does bath repair cost?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

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

When to call us in Lochluichart

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
