Bath repair in Lugton

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Bath repair in Lugton without replacing anything

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lugton. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Lugton

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Lugton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lugton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What we’re called out for in Lugton

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
