How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Bath repair in Murthly without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Murthly and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Murthly. The price depends on:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How many areas need work
How easy the damage is to reach
How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

A clear, close picture of the problem area
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Something in shot to show the size
The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Murthly

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Murthly use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about bath repair in Murthly

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Murthly.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
We match both the colour and the shine.
We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

How to prepare

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Murthly?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

Rust spots around the plughole
Holes from dropped items
Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Murthly

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
