Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Bath repair in Miltonduff, done in place

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Our work in Miltonduff

Miltonduff is about 3 miles south-west of Elgin, in Moray. We agree a date that works for you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Miltonduff is one of 58 towns and villages in Moray we cover.

We work across the IV30 postcode area and the streets around it. If you’re just outside Miltonduff, we cover Pittendreich (1 mile north-east), Newton (2 miles north), Thomshill (2 miles south-east), Elgin (3 miles north-east) and Ashgrove (3 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Forres (9 miles west), Lossiemouth (7 miles north-east), Burghead (7 miles north-west), Fochabers (10 miles east), Hopeman (6 miles north) and Lhanbryde (6 miles east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Miltonduff get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Miltonduff

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Miltonduff?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Miltonduff. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Miltonduff

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Common problems we fix in Miltonduff

Rust typically 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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
