How we handle bath repair in Lunanhead

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Lunanhead

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book

Questions from Lunanhead

How soon can you come?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover Lunanhead?

We do. We send a technician to Lunanhead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath repair in Lunanhead

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
