How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Bath repair at your home in New Aberdeen

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why New Aberdeen customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

New Aberdeen questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover New Aberdeen?

We do. Technicians travel to New Aberdeen from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Signs you need bath repair in New Aberdeen

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Holes from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath

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