Bath repair in Macduff, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What affects the price in Macduff

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Macduff. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Macduff. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Macduff: your questions answered

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, 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 about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

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

When can I have a bath again?

Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Are there extra charges for Macduff?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repair or replace in Macduff?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Macduff

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips under the taps

What to look for in a quote
