Landlord and trade work in Mintlaw
For anyone letting property in or around Mintlaw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Your questions about bath repair in Mintlaw
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Common problems we fix in Mintlaw
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
