Trusted bath repair in Lochranza

Bath repair in Lochranza, done in place

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Lochranza questions

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Lochranza

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: 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.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need bath repair in Lochranza?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
