About our bath repair in Meikle Wartle

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Meikle Wartle: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

The whole UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Meikle Wartle. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Repairing versus replacing in Meikle Wartle

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Meikle Wartle

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meikle Wartle as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

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

Surfaces we repair
