About our bath repair in North Connel

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for North Connel

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including North Connel and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in North Connel, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in North Connel?

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 whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
