About our bath repair in New Alyth

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, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in New Alyth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • 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.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in New Alyth

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

New Alyth: your questions answered

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you come to New Alyth?

We do. Repair technicians travel to New Alyth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What we’re called out for in New Alyth

A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
