Bath repair near New Stevenston

Bath repair in New Stevenston, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage beneath the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Stevenston as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about bath repair in New Stevenston

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What we’re called out for in New Stevenston

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

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.

How we price bath repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
