Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Mid Auchinleck, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we’re called out for in Mid Auchinleck

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early

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

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.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, 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. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site

Your questions about bath repair in Mid Auchinleck

How long does the repair take to cure?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
