Bath repair for Nigg homes

About our bath repair in Nigg

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Nigg

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 the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

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

Materials we work on in Nigg

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

What affects the price in Nigg

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Nigg. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Nigg. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Common problems we fix in Nigg

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
